The word 'photography' originates from Greek φῶς phos and γραφι graphics or γραφή graphê, the combination of the two words means "drawing with light". ©  Handian

At a certain moment, the light emitted or reflected by an object is captured and retained on a photosensitive medium, and then reproduced after exposure. This is similar to how humans capture everything through their eyes, except that when light falls into the retina, it does not reside in a specific photo, but rather enters a segment of human memory and is reproduced during recall.

The contradiction between the fuzziness and complexity of human thinking and the precision and specificity of paper reproduction is fascinating. Among the works of the six artists in this exhibition, some of the images on the photo paper are instantaneous and real records, or consciously reproduced through setting up scenes, or completely modeled, pieced together, and reconstructed using technology. In the current era of rapid development of AI technology, the exhibition has no intention of organizing works in a linear sequence, only placing them as concrete slices of human thinking in this space.
